Baseball
Bulldogs' win streak snapped by Sayre in six
The Burgin Bulldogs had been on a long and treacherous learning experience
leading up to a matchup Monday night against the home-standing Sayre Spartans.
The Bulldogs had been through a nine-game losing streak followed by a
complete turn around that saw three quality wins in consecutive fashion.
The biggest of wins for Burgin came a week ago with a 9-8 victory in nine
innings over district rival East Jessamine. The win gave the Bulldogs
their second of three consecutive wins, and their first district win of
the season.
Softball
Burgin finds way to win in eight
The Lady Bulldogs had recently been on a swing of epic proportions. Burgin
saw a very tough start to the season, winning one of their first nine.
But, mid-April would see the Lady Bulldogs win four games in five outings
to jump-start their standing in the rankings. But, the run would only
last one more day, as the Lady Bulldogs were losers of their last two
contests against Washington County and Berea following another pair of
losses on the road. But, Burgin would get a chance Tuesday to snap the
losing streak with Bethlehem in town for an afternoon matchup. And, the
Lady Bulldogs would do just that, coming back from six down to score seven
uncontested runs and win 7-6 in eight innings.
Lady
Titans suffer home loss to Boyle County, 15-2
The Lady Titans have been near the bottom of the regional rankings from
the very first pitch of this season. But, the experience gained has been
very rewarding for the young softball team, a squad that has something
to learn with each and every outing.
With a losing streak to start the season, a solid district win to end
the losing streak and a hard fought win amongst a slew of difficult contests,
the Lady Titans have learned that fighting for every ounce of success
is the key to winning.
Thursday's showdown with the Boyle County Lady Rebels would provide Mercer
with another hard lesson to learn for seasons to come, falling to the
visiting Lady Rebels 15-2 at home.
Tennis
Titans win two straight to move to 11-3
Titans tennis has been on the highest of highs coming into this week's
matchups against district rival West Jessamine on Monday and a meeting
with Somerset on Tuesday.
The consecutive days of tennis battling would be quite a task for the
Mercer boys, but not a difficult enough task to not take both teams by
storm.
